Big Ideas: Choosing an appropriate sampling method is dependent on the population and the parameter of interest. Previous lessons have developed the importance of randomization in the sampling process, techniques for generating random numbers, and various sampling methods. This lesson will focus on recognizing the characteristics of a population that indicate which sampling method will provide the best representative sample.
